CTRL + Y for redo
(except in tables)

CTRL + ] for indent
CTRL + [ for outdent
  1. CTRL + Shift + 7 for numbered list
  • CTRL + Shift + 8 for bulleted lists

CTRL + backslash (\) removes formatting from the currently selected content

Speaking of removing formatting, pasting in content as plain text can often be a great way to get content in that's from outside documents, like PDFs, Word, and Pages.

To do a plaintext paste:
  • On Windows: CTRL + Shift + V
  • On Mac: ⌘ + Option + Shift + V

CTRL + semi-colon (;) inserts the current date
